The work engages with quotidian materials and spaces, often working within an interdisciplinary capacity with emphasis on drawing as an attitude rather than drawing as a medium. The work acknowledges the increasing cross-exchange of cultural heritage and social structures of globalisation.
Boukla frequently adopts techniques used in cartography and map-making as a way of referencing cultural and sociological differences and how a ‘generic migration’ is beginning to blur our geographic and cultural boarders.
The pages were from Homer’s the Odyssey, the tale of Ul- ysses’ wanderings. Beginning with the page where the story first starts, each page was read and then folded into a paper boat. These boats were then launched onto the river running through Meanwood Park, Leeds, both ending and in a sense, starting this project.
